Get next-gen access type (public, private) by REST calls

Pierangelo Repetti

Hello,

I need a way to query whether a next-gen project has either public or limited access type, by means of the REST API.

I implemented a Python script but results are unclear. The returned "inPrivate" field is not consistent with the actual project data.

Some community posts say that property just tells you whether you have permission to browse issues in the project

Documentation here, though, says (click on the Project link just above the sample response).

isPrivate

boolean

Whether the project is private.

Which is right ?

And above all, how can I get that information by REST calls ?

Thanks

Hello @Pierangelo Repetti

The Atlassian v3 REST API documentation about the isPrivate field is correct.

You can easily confirm this by creating a new Next-Gen project that does not have private permissions and that field will return a false value. Then, if you create a Next-Gen project that does have private permissions, that field will return a true value.

Hello @[deleted] ,

I am afraid this is not what I am getting, and that's why I wrote this post in the first place.

The isPrivate field is returning False for a next-gen project I created and I am managing. I am positive it has private access,

I should be getting True instead, if documentation is correct as you say. Or might we be meaning different things for "private permissions" ?

Thanks

Sorry @Pierangelo Repetti , I take it back, I was wrong.

The documentation is a bit misleading; the isPrivate field does not tell you if the Next-Gen project is a 'private' , 'open' or 'limited' type, it just tells if you, personally, have access to that project.

There doesn't seem to be a way to read or set a Next-Gen project's security / permissions type via the REST API at the moment. There is this feature request that discusses that, and this feature request requesting the ability to set / read that via the REST API.

Looks like you're out of luck until those features are added.

Hi @[deleted]

thanks for clarifying.

Something is not quite correct anyway, because inPrivate for the project I mentioned earlier is returning false though I do have access to it.

I have just opened a support case.

Thanks again,

Pierangelo
